1390 Wise Method (1/2)

”Buttface, what dirty tricks have you got up your sleeve?” Xu Que glared at Buttface and asked angrily.

”How could he not be angry at this moment?”

Buttface was really good at fooling people. He'd unexpectedly deceived everyone, even Xu Que. They'd all assumed that Buttface had become truly loyal, brave, and was willing to risk his life to help Xu Que.

But now it seemed as if it wasn't a question of bravery or loyalty.

Xu Que could tell from the fool's expression that some great gains were waiting for him. This was why he'd acted as he had to deceive everyone and followed Xu Que with all the group admiring his bravery.

”Hee, hee, lad, we're going to make a great profit this time. Can you guess what I've discovered?”

Buttface wore a sheepish look and a wicked smile as he looked at Xu Que

”F*ck! What great profits? I just want to deal with the prophecy and teach Xuanyuan Wanrong a lesson at the same time. That lassie has implicated me and complicated my life for no reason,” Xu Que answered Buttface, shaking his head.

He wasn't in the mood for Buttface's fooling, and he didn't have the leisure to care about making any profits.

Buttface continued wearing a lofty look and chuckled. He said, ”Lad, my discovery will help you deal with the prophecy, and it can also help us get a large amount of Celestial Core Power.”

HISS!

Xu Que sucked in an enormous breath of cold air and opened his eyes wide. ”A large amount of Celestial Core Power? What does it look like?”

”It doesn't matter what it looks like. I've said that we will get a large amount of Celestial Core Power, and it's a tremendous amount that will help us advance through several stages.” Buttface waved his legs around in an exaggerated fashion to describe the greatness of the amount of Celestial Core Power.

Xu Que stopped making fun of the dog and, with a grave expression, he asked, ”Speak, what method?”

”Hee hee, well it's like this...” Buttface had a wicked smile and pointed at the foot of the mountain range. He approached Xu Que's ears and started whispering all about this matter.

At first, Xu Que frowned as he listened, but soon his face relaxed and his eyes lit up. Shortly, he was wearing the same smile as Buttface.

.....

Meanwhile, the rest of the group traveling with Xu Que were still waiting around the entrance to the Celestial Burial Valley.

They hadn't left because they were planning to continue waiting here. They wanted to know how this whole situation would pan out.

After all, only two days were left until Xu Que was supposed to die, as predicted by the prophecy.

SIGH! ”I'd assumed that we would be able to finish this journey without a hitch, even though the trip was difficult. I definitely didn't expect that we would face a situation such as this. I guess I got too relaxed because everything had been smooth sailing recently.” Duan Jiude looked at the mountain range where Xu Que and Buttface had disappeared. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He felt quite melancholy!

Mo Junchen nodded in agreement and kept his silence. He had a heavy heart.

He held a storage ring in his hand tightly. It had been given to him by Xu Que before he left, and it contained a large amount of Spiritual Stones, Space-Breaking Talismans, and other magical properties.

Even though Xu Que didn't say anything about this, Mo Junchen was aware that Xu Que had handed over all of his possessions to him. If any tragedy really occurred, the stuff in the storage ring was to be given to Liu Jingning.

Xu Que didn't give it to Liu Jingning personally because he was afraid that she would overthink this matter. If he was able to come back, then everything would be fine. But, if he couldn't come back, these treasures would be left for her and they would help her walk down her life's path more easily.

After all, Liu Jingning wasn't like Jiang Hongyan. She didn't have any special physique or any powerful supporters. It wasn't easy for her to walk down her path alone. As for Jiang Hongyan, she had the Body of Heavenly Kismet and her future path would be much easier than Liu Jingning's.

BANG!

At this moment, a loud explosion could be heard from outside of the Celestial Burial Valley.

The noise was transmitted from very far away, and it originated from the sea area at the edge of the Eastern Continent. It sounded as if the sea had been bombarded, and the noise spread to the interior of the Celestial Burial Valley.

HISS! ”What's happening?”
